## Description

desertcart.com The Work Sharp WS2000 Tool Sharpener and shop grinder is an easy-to-use dry sharpening and grinding system that makes it simple to maintain everything from precision carving tools to axes and lawnmower blades. WS2000 is the modern day solution to the bench grinder. Designed for the serious craftsperson as well as do-it-yourselfers, this sharpener and grinder even lets you sharpen contoured tools at home. And it's compact enough to take with you to the job site. Sharp Blades Mean Better Results Sharp tools mean you can cut through tougher materials and create more precise details. They reduce the amount of strain work puts on your body and make you much less likely to damage your work surface or hurt yourself. But stopping to sharpen tools interrupts the flow of work, and with some systems it's quite difficult. With the Work Sharp WS2000 Tool Sharpener and grinder, you can sharpen and grind blades quickly, consistently, and easily without making a mess or delaying a project. Quick, Consistent Sharpening Precision tools like small chisels are extra tricky to sharpen freehand on large, rough wheels. That's why the chisel sharpening port on the WS2000 is so innovative. This port, which handles blades up to one and 5/8-inches, makes it incredibly easy to sharpen the bevel on small tools from underneath the wheel.A hold-down bar ensures that you get a strong, consistent bevel edge with a perfect 25-degree angle. This means you avoid lengthy set-up times and the frustration of setting a jig before each sharpening.An adjustable alignment fence in the port keeps your tool square during sharpening, and when you pull the tool back out of the port, a diamond abrasive automatically removes the burr on the back of the tool for a clean finish and a sharp edge.Convenient Sharpening Options For working with bigger tools, the Work Sharp WS2000 features a conveniently placed tool rest that makes it easy to hold larger blades in place as you sharpen and grind them freehand on the top of the wheel.The horizontal grinding wheel of the WS2000 provides a larger grinding area and better control than a traditional vertical grinding wheel. And you don't have to worry about tools kicking back because you are grinding on a surface that's moving away from you.When it comes time to sharpen contoured tools, you can slip an innovative slotted Edge-Vision wheel onto the WS2000. This lets you look through the wheel to see the edge of the tool you are sharpening, taking the guesswork out of maintaining lathe tools and other curved or v-shaped blades. Plus, the Edge-Vision wheel is made of a durable high-impact thermoplastic blend that won't change shape or wear down over time.Safe, Mess-Free Operation This unique sharpener runs at about 1/4 the speed of a traditional bench grinder, so your work surface doesn't heat up as much. Combined with an air-cooled heat sink design, this helps ensure that your tools don't overheat, preserving the sharpness of your edge and ensuring that you don't ruin the temper of steel tools, all without the mess of a traditional, high-end wet sharpening system. This low-speed wheel makes it much safer to use than traditional grinders, so you can get rid of the thick, clunky protective gloves that make precision work nearly impossible. And when coupled with the large work surface of the horizontal wheel, the slower speed gives you greater control, opening up a variety of innovative uses. To make all this possible, Work Sharp uses an induction motor that deliver consistent power and torque, regardless of load. And if you share a workspace with your family or coworkers, you can be confident that the Work Sharp's safety lock-out will prevent accidental use.This Work Sharp tool is backed by a full two-year warranty. What's in the Box Tool sharpener/grinder, two slotted Edge-Vision wheels, an instructional DVD, and seven abrasives: three solid abrasives and four slotted abrasives, all either P80 or P220. From the Manufacturer The WS2000 offers 3 ways to sharpen your tools: Top Side with Tool Rest, the Chisel and Plane Iron Port and the Edge-Vision Port. The WS2000 sharpens chisel and plane blades up to 1-5/8-Inch wide to a perfect 25 Degree bevel angle without any set up time! The WS2000 also sharpens carving tools, lathe tools, scrapers, putty knives, axes, lawn mower blades and much more! Work Sharp can sharpen or grind nearly any tool in your shop. Work Sharp uses a powerful 1/5 hp motor and produces a max wheel speed of 1750 RPM, so it can handle heavy sharpening and grinding tasks. Work Sharp offers an active air cooled sharpening port with routed air flow and heat sink design to quickly sharpen your tools without overheating or damaging the steel. This innovative, patent pending chisel sharpening method also uses a diamond lapping plate to remove the burr while you sharpen, making sharpening even faster! The WS2000 offers 2 Edge-Vision wheels (150mm) and uses both solid and slotted adhesive backed abrasives so you can quickly and easily change between coarse and fine grits. The innovative Edge-Vision sharpening method allows you to see the cutting edge of tools while you sharpen. Edge-Vision makes sharpening carving and lathe tools easier and more precise than ever before! Work Sharp is a quality tool and comes with a full 2 year warranty.

Review: A great sharpener for a low cost. - I am really pleased with this tool sharpener. What you don't want to do is compare it to a four or five hundred dollar wet stone system. This system sharpens everything that I have used it for to a degree that I am very pleased with. I built a fixture to help me get a more accurate angle which has helped with my turning tools. Oh, and I don't mind buying the auto store disk and trimming them, they work very well. If I want super scary sharp I can visit my buddy who has one of the five hundred dollar wet stone systems and likes my Work Sharp WS2000 because it is quick and easy. Life is good!
Review: Got pencils? - If you do, you probably have a pencil sharpener. Got chisels? If so, this is the equivalent of a pencil sharpener for chisels. Simple, slick and exact in no time. I have bought many of the cheap HF chisels for use in remodel work. I view them as throw-away items since they are often prone to hit a nail or some other surprise; not worth the time / cost to resharpen. Well, with the WS2000, all those nicked or dulled chisels are brought back to life instantly. Saves a ton of hassle to be able to always have sharp chisels on hand, much like pencils! I just got the unit and am looking forward to doing the lathe tools. Even though the provided abrasives of 220 grit give an excellent utility edge, I am going to follow the suggestion of others and order another edge-vision wheel and put a couple of very fine grit abrasives on it for even finer honing when needed. For $99, this is definitely a 5-star product! Hey ProTool Mfg: Your Drill Doctor DD350X Drill Bit Sharpener is outstanding. Next you've come out with this Work Sharp system. We are anxiously awaiting when you will unveil a circular saw blade sharpener!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this tool be adjusted speed wise using a rheostat of some kind?**
A: An AC motor's speed depends on input frequency and not voltage.  A rheostat will change line voltage but not frequency so you would need a device to change frequency and not voltage the way a rheostat does.  A rheostat will only work with a DC motor.

**Q: Which abrasive kit will I need for sharpening a lawn mower blade?**
A: I suspect you could use one of the abrasive disks packaged with the tool, determine what your preferred choice is, and then order accordingly.

**Q: Is this good for sharpening Felco pruners and a small hand saw?**
A: I would not purchase this sharpener for your intended use. Any saw would be very difficult to sharpen on this unit.

**Q: will this work to sharpen dog clipper blades?**
A: When I visualize Dog Clipper blades they are two combs that pass across each other at high speed. So the only suface that could be sharpened is the blade suface. Whether this would work I really do not know. I do hope this is of use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the tool but results leave a little something to be desired
*by J***Y on May 20, 2008*

The tool does exactly what it claims to do and does it well. I ruined the edge on a three quarter inch Marple chisel last year and never bothered to dress it up due to the time required and my dislike for honing blades. With this tool I had a new, sharp edge on the chisel in just a few minutes. I have also sharpened knives and axes with it with good results. I do have a couple of small problems with it, though. I found that chisels narrower then one half inch did not grind straight across (it looked as if the chisel was slightly cocked in the sharpener) so from now on I will only sharpen chisles one half inches and wider. This isn't really a problem, though. Narrower chisels are easier to sharpen by hand and the WS2000 can still be used to achieve a proper angle on the chisel which can then be finished by hand. My other problem is with the finish. The 220 grit discs leave a fairly rough face on the chisel when compared with a stone. Not a big problem but having gotten used to what a wet stone can do it looks unsightly and purists will complain that a rough finish causes too much drag. The faces can, of course, be touch up by hand, but I plan on getting some very fine grit discs and see if a smoother face can be obtained. I have some very fine carving tools which, while I have not tried sharpening them on the WS2000 yet, I will problably continue to sharpen by hand. While the machine runs very smoothly it fills a little overwhelming for the small stuff. Maybe when I ruin one of my small tools I'll try it out. Overall a very good tool and I would recommend it to anyone who, like myself, both hates to hone blades and isn't very good at it. Just be aware that it won't give wet stone-like results and seems to be more suited for relatively larger tools.
